Hi everyone! If, like me, you love ice cream, sorbets, and all the glazed sweets, know that with the Ninja Creami, it's the dessert party all year! What I like the most with this machine is that it adapts to each season, and believe me, I explored all the possibilities to take advantage of the ingredients of each period of the year. Here are my favorite ideas to inspire you and feast on every season.
Spring: long live fruity sorbets and yogurt ice cream
Spring is the moment when nature wakes up and when the first fresh fruit finally arrives. It is the light and fruity ice cream season that announces summer.
Spring fruit sorbets: strawberries, raspberries, and even the first mangoes are my essentials. I love mixing the fruits with a little lemon juice and agave syrup to obtain natural, light, and super refreshing sorbets. It gives a stroke of pep!
Yogurt and fresh fruit ice cream: yogurt is really my secret for creamy ice cream and yet very light. I add pieces of fresh fruit for a nice texture and a spring taste, perfect when the beautiful days come back!
Light milkshakes: with the first sweet temperatures, I never say no to a good fruit milkshake. My favorite combo? Almond milk, raspberries and a hint of honey. It's fresh, light, and so good!
Summer: creamy ice cream, sorbets and slushies to cool off
In summer, the Ninja Creami becomes my best friend. It is the season of creamy ice cream and tropical sorbets. I have fun with recipes that are both greedy and quenching.
Creamy ice creams with summer fruit: peaches, apricots, melons ... summer is a gold mine for fruity ice. With a touch of cream or milk, I get a creamy and very rich texture. The hot days only have to get hold!
Exotic sorbets: for me, nothing beats a good mango-passion sorbet in the middle of August. I also be tempted by watermelon or pineapple. These fruits give naturally sweet and hyper refreshing sorbets-perfect for sunny afternoons!
Slushies and granita: Well, the Ninja Creami is not really designed for that, but I love trying granita by adding a little water to the preparation. It's super simple, light, and in addition, it calms thirst in a sip.
Fall: comforting ice cream and milkshakes with warm flavors
When fall arrives, I want hot and comforting flavors, even in my frozen desserts. The Ninja Creami is not unemployed, and my recipes take a more cozy touch.
Spicy pumpkin ice cream: pumpkin puree is my little secret for fall ice. I add cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger, and hop, we have a dessert that recalls the Pumpkin Spice Latte! It's sweet, spicy, and so comforting.
Caramel and nuts' milkshake: nothing like a good nutshake with nuts and caramel for autumn days. Nuts, hazelnuts, and a caramel net do wonders in this ultra creamy drink. Ideal for a quick dessert or a snack break!
Fall fruit ice cream: apple and pear, a winning duo! I cook them in compote with a little cinnamon, then I mix them. It gives a light, fragrant ice cream, which warms the heart while remaining fresh.
Winter: rich frozen creams and holidays
In winter, even if it's the hot chocolates season, I still like a good frozen dessert after a generous meal. With very rich flavors, this is the perfect final touch for the holidays.
Hot chocolate ice cream: for chocolate fans, it's the ultimate ice. I melt dark chocolate and add a little cream for a melting texture. It's like hot chocolate, but frozen ... and I assure you, it's a delight.
Ice for Christmas spices: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, orange zest ... I mix all the holiday flavors to make it a festive ice cream. To add a crunchy little side, I love to sprinkle with gingerbread cookies.
Gourmet icy creams: winter is also the time to have fun with more intense ice creams, such as coffee, caramel or pecan. These ice cream go super well with winter meals and bring a touch of sweetness at the end of a meal.
My tips for adapting the Ninja Creami to the seasons
Play with textures: by adjusting the amount of liquid or adding a little milk or cream, you can get lighter or more creamy ice cream, depending on the desire and the season.
Use seasonal ingredients: Take advantage of the fruits of each season for ultra tasty and colorful ice cream. It's economical and we keep authentic flavors.
Add topping: toppings are the final touch. In summer, I add fresh fruit, in winter, a few chocolate shards or a caramel net. Simple, but always effective in transforming basic ice into a seasonal dessert.
Conclusion
With the Ninja Creami, you can enjoy all year round, regardless of the season. Whether refreshing ice cream in summer, light sorbets in the spring or gourmet and comforting desserts in winter, the possibilities are endless.
